At this stage the drivers side quarters pretty much done. I didn't take progress pix though. I guess I got too into it to take any but the passengers' side is pretty much a carbon copy of the drivers side as far as Simons' approach to "repairs" goes.
So first up was to see what kind of horror story was hiding behind this patch.
Both the rail and boot floor extension were rusty. Both sections were cut out, sandblasted and weld through primed before repair sections were welded in.
Here's the rail section all ready for weldage.
Fit like a finger in a ... glove.
The difference between sanded and unsanded metal really show up with the weld through primer. When it's all done in chassis coat it should look pretty uniform, not that you'll be able to see in here without pulling the car apart .
Now onto the rest of the quarter.
